The Wedding Website of Allison Johnson and Jeffrey Herrold
The photos above show what the entrance to the private road to the venue looks like. See the “Getting to the Venue” section at the bottom of this page for more information about how to get to the venue. While we do not have a block of rooms set aside at a hotel, there are a number of options nearby. The Best Western Capistrano Inn and the Inn at the Mission San Juan Capistrano are both located in San Juan Capistrano. There are also hotel options available in the nearby cities of Mission Viejo, Dana Point, and San Clemente, in addition to home rentals on AirBnB. If you are flying in for the wedding we recommend flying in to John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County as it is the closest airport to the venue and a relatively easy airport to navigate.

Getting to the Venue

Jewel of Ortega 41660 Ortega Rd San Juan Capistrano, CA 92629 The Jewel of Ortega is located on a private road off of Ortega Highway (74). If you are traveling east on Ortega Highway to the venue, the turn off to the entrance gate for the private road is on the right side of the highway, directly across from the Tree of Life Nursery. Use this link to get a pin to the location of the entrance to the private road. https://maps.app.goo.gl/fX9mDGoAdYvhoMpFA?g_st=ipc There is a five mile drive on the private dirt road to get the rest of the way to the venue. Jewel of Ortega staff will wait for groups of cars to arrive at the beginning of the private road, and then will lead groups in caravans the remainder of the way to where the venue parking is located. The five mile dirt road drive takes 15 to 20 minutes. Guests will be shuttled from the parking area to the venue by Jewel of Ortega staff.
